Hi Everyone...
Thanks for all your help! Yes, the CUCV M1008 pick up wheels will fit
the bolt pattern and will almost bolt down flat, but the center hole
in the wheel is about 1/16" too small to fit over the casting in the
center of the HMMWV hub.
Nevertheless, we snugged the lug nuts down and it went 3 miles or so
just fine to our destination.
The offset was not a problem.
Also for the record, the HMMWV uses a 16.5" wheel, while the M1008
uses a 16.0" wheel.
Thank you all!
